    it was a good day.

    Components are tough to come by around here, and I was just about out of everything. I happened to stop by a little hole in the wall shop and found this. I am so happy I had to share.:D Anyone else starting to see essentials coming back?

    AMT Backup hammer question

    So my dad brought me his AMT Backup .380 single action as it stopped functioning. I tore it down. These things are a major pain in the posterior BTW to take apart. The cause of the issue is the hammer separated into 3 pieces. Numrich has the old style hammer in stock, but not the new style. The...

    Solid scope rings for lightweight .308

    Ok, so I got my new Ruger American in .308 and I have nothing bad to say about it. I was going to put a 2-7x nikon on it, but the transmission decided I had to use what I have on hand. I ended up slapping a 3.8-12X44 aetec on it because it was what I had laying around. I was getting really nice...

    Class 3 slip ups

    Ok, so we all know unless we have a special licence that manufacturing a full auto is a big no-no. What if a gunsmith screws up a trigger job, and then fixes the problem after the test firing. Is there any kind of protection from these screw ups, or does the ATF not care at all. I ask because of...

    redhawk price check please

    So... I think this is a no brainer, but I would like your opinion on this deal. I responded to a classified ad today that was pretty vague about what was for sale, just sporting goods not able to use anymore looking for a good home. There were several firearms for sale, and after showing me...

    Dry or wet, how do you run them?

    A while back we had a thread about how well oiled a 92FS should be. I typically well oil most of my guns, and then wipe down any excess, so I did not think much of it. I recently purchased an EAA witness and the previous owner said he ran it recently. When I got it home I realized just how dry...

    Price check please EAA witness

    I can get a EAA witness tanfoglio 9MM LNIB with the .22 conversion kit, for $400. What do you think? I am having some trouble finding anyone with this in stock to price compare. So I reach out to THR and its collective wisdom. Plus I have read mostly good about this line of pistols, but any more...

    Ruger American rifle caliber

    So I have been looking into a nice bolt action for some time, and Ruger seems to have my number. I am leaning towards a .308, but would welcome the input as to caliber. Mostly I am a paper puncher, I find it to be meditative for lack of a better word. If I were to hunt it would be pig most...

    should I trade?

    Hey everyone thought I would turn to you for opinions. I have an ar15 with about $900 invested in it. A friend is interested in trading for his mini-14 and cash. The Mini comes with 6 magazines of various capacities, and is a stainless steel ranch rifle from 1991 with a 1in7 twist. It also has...

    svt-40 ammo

    Just got a hold of a beautiful svt still packed in cosmoline. I really want to go shoot this tomorrow but all I have is corrosive 147gr and 180gr, or commercial 203gr. I do not want to shoot any corrosive in this gun. So to anyone with actual experience, will 203gr hurt my rifle, or should I...

    9x23 tokarev once more

    Hello all, I have been through just about every forum I can find (as well as THR archives), and have found lots of people talking about this conversion. I have run down all the parts I need (9mm barrel reamed to 9x23, 9mm barrel bushing/compensator), what I need is someone with the...
